The Stuarts

In England, Henry the VIII, as a consequence of the Reformation sweeping across Europe, established an independent church, separating his country from the power of the Catholic Church. It was followed by the establishment of the Church of England under his daughter, Queen Elizabeth I. Queen Elizabeth I’s court was steeped in esoteric thought, through the influence of the famous magus John Dee. Dee believed he found the secret of conjuring angels by numerical configurations in the tradition of the Kabbalah, from whom he learned advancement in knowledge.

Elizabeth did not marry, and therefore had no direct heir. So she was instead succeeded by James V of Scotland, becoming King James I, finally placing the all-important occult bloodline of the Stuarts as kings of England. The Stuarts were the leaders among many families whom the authors of When Scotland Was Jewish characterised as secret Jews. Among these were the Bruce, Campbell, Kennedy, Cowen [Cohen], and Douglas families, and most importantly, the Sinclairs.

Robert the Bruce was also a descendant of Robert the Brus II, who married William St. Clair’s sister Agnes. Robert the Bruce was also the grandson of Walter Stewart, Third High Stewart of Scotland, who played an important part in the Battle of Bannockburn. Walter Stewart then married Majory, daughter of Robert the Bruce, and their son Robert II eventually inherited the Scottish throne after his uncle David II of Scotland died. From them were descended all subsequent Stewart, or Stuart, kings of Scotland.

In 1441, King James II Stewart had appointed William Sinclair to the post of Hereditary Patron and Protector of Scottish Masons. These were not the later Freemasons but working stone masons. It was not until well later that “speculative” Masons joined the guilds, which came to be known as Freemasonry. William Sinclair also designed the most sacred site in Freemasonry, Rosslyn Chapel, a church in the village of Roslin in Scotland, replete with occult symbolism, and which has often been rumored to be the burial site of the Holy Grail, being the remains of Mary Magdalene.

The myth of the Sinclair family has recently been popularised by Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code. It is at Rosslyn Chapel that Sophia, the protagonist of the novel, finds out about the pedigree of her parents, who, “incredibly, both had been from Merovingian families — direct descendants of Mary Magdalene and Jesus Christ. Sophie’s parents and ancestors, for protection, had changed their family names of Plantard and Saint-Clair.”⁵⁶

Dan Brown also divulges the ultimate secret of the Satanic bloodline, which is red hair, which of course is at its highest concentration in Scotland. Red hair, having been introduced by their Scythian ancestors, is believed to be its characteristic trait, a mark of their Satanic nature. Not only is Sophia a redhead, but Brown makes repeated references to the importance of red hair, and carefully notes that Mary Magdalene was portrayed by Da Vinci as having red hair, as a deliberate reference to her “sacred” heritage.

There are hundreds of stone carvings in the walls and in the ceiling of the Rosslyn Chapel, which represent biblical scenes, Masonic symbols, and examples of Templar iconography. There are swords, compasses, trowels, squares and mauls with images of Solomon’s Temple. In addition to the Jewish and occult symbolism, there are also some traces of Islam and pagan serpents, dragons, and woodland trees. The fertility figure of the Green Man, a European version of the dying-god Dionysus, is to be found everywhere on the pillars and arches, together with fruits, herbs, leaves, spices, flowers, vines and the plants of the garden paradise.

King James I was the son Mary Queen of Scots. Mary’s mother was Marie de Guise, who belonged to the important bloodline of Guillaume de Gellone. In 1546, she signed an unusual Bond and Obligation to Sir William Sinclair Baron of Rosslyn: “In likewise that we sall be Leal and trew Maistres to him, his Counsill and Secret shewn to us we sall keep secret--and in all mattres gif to him the best and trewest Counsell we can as we sall be requirite thereto…and sall be reddy att all tymes to maintain and defend him…”⁵⁷

Mary Queen of Scots had married Henry Stuart, who was the great-grandson of Eleanor Sinclair, the daughter of William Sinclair, and John Stewart. It was through the ascension of this line, in their son, King James I, to the English throne that inspired the occult underground to embark on a bold project to bring their associations into the light, known as the Rosicrucian movement in Bohemia, out of which emerged the later “speculative” Freemasons.
